Heh. I guess that's what happens when you get people "Serious Adults" who are a bit too convinced of all the vile things those darn kids are up to. It's funny that they thought that was real, down to the at the end of the title.
It seems like a little research could have helped them realize it as a joke, but hey, I guess they thought they had a story that would sell.

And heh, you don't seem to hold that station in too high of esteem, I gather :laugh:

You wouldn't be able to drink it anyway because the mug would melt.

I can't believe they called in a real doctor for this one. I mean, "What could be SCUMM?" WTF? Did any of those retards do any research? Like what would real journalists do?

The doctor googled SCUMM, and he said it was a "alcohol delivery service."! I googled it, and the first result was for SCUMMVM! Look a little down, and you'll find a Wiki entry for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion.......

I don't think it even passed through his head that SCUMM could be related to video games, you are asking too much from people who barely know how to check their email and think that videogames are those things that turns our kids into violent psychopaths or into fat slobs.

And it's not even some doctor, it is a doctor who is very famous here, with a heavy presence on TV. It has a obesity clinic, a diet products line and whatnot...

So yeah, it is all a big WTF.
